Which looks better?
I'm looking at redoing my front end, with one of 3 choices...
One is the standard GT500 fascia.
Second is this. Moving the fogs to the center of the grille.

Third is this, which IMO looks best. Only difference is I'd get a black grille rather than the billet one.

I've done #1 before and it's not cheap, I plan to do #3 to my girl's V6, simply because I don't want to do #1 again. Besides my new car came with it.

I'm not worried about price. Seeing as this will be a drawn out process, I won't be done for another year or so... depending on my job situation. (if I get the one I'm going for, it'll get done sooner.)

#1 but costs about 10 times more than 2 or 3.
I like fog lights and don't have a lot of money, so I would (and did) get #2.
#3 looks good on lowered cars though.

Option 1 with the pony centered in the grille looks the best IMO. See this thread where a Ray Man retrofitted a 67 pony into a GT500 grille that was installed on his GT/CS. See his build with fantastic picture documentation here. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...=441717&page=6
The GT500 front fascia set up with the pony in the center gives Mustang looks very close to the concept Mustang.

Option one is going to cost you at least $1300 for just the front end parts, that does not include prepping and painting. If you're considering a venom hood for your GT500 conversion then you could very well reach about $3000 for parts, paint prep, and paint.

I was actually thinking around $5500 total after paint. When I get the parts, I'll also be having the rest of the car painted as well. A guy I work with will paint the car for around $1500 - $2000, depending on the color I choose.
